102 | Melchisedec restored tithing | Rom 4:3 | Bereaniam | 171842 | ||
A well-respected preacher said that Melchisedec restored tithing under a new government. Isn't this ridiculous and unscriptural? Bereaniam |

103 | Melchisedec restored tithing | Rom 4:3 | Bereaniam | 171845 | ||
Thanks BradK, He used Heb 7:12 as his proof text, which states that the priesthood had changed , therefore a necessity to change the law. This very scripture is one that I use to refute that tithing is under this present grace period. This preacher said the law changed but was not abolished. His sermon was very confusing (he was a guest preacher at our church). If Heb 7:12 says that tithing was restored...I don't see where he thought it ever ceased from the Mosaic Law. Bereaniam |

104 | Is salvation an ongoing event | 1 Cor 1:23 | Bereaniam | 172180 | ||
What does Paul mean when he says in 1Cor 1:18 ...for the work of the cross is folly to those pershing, but to us "who are being saved" it is the power of God. Is salvation a one-time event or an ongoing process? Bereaniam |

105 | Devil will be saved/reconciled to God | 1 Cor 15:22 | Bereaniam | 173177 | ||
Help! I recently was involved in an informal conversation with some brothers and sisters and someone related this interpretation of Colossians 1:16-21 to us. He said that by Jesus ALL things were created, even the devil...I agreed with that. But he said verses 20 and 21 states that "through the blood of the cross" God will reconcile ALL things to Himself, even those who "were sometime alienated and enemies...yet now hath He reconciled." In other words he was saying, in the end, God is going to "reconcile or save" ALL, even the devil. He went on to say that if God expects us to forgive our enemies, He will forgive the devil who has been His enemy. Also, that this will be God's finest hour to show His "unconditional love" for everyone. He said "EVERY knee has to bow and EVERY tongue has to confess that Jesus is Lord..." and that's all it takes to become a Christian...those who call upon the Lord shall be saved.Rom 10:13. Brought up in the discussion was the parable of the man who hired laborers throughout the day, and everyone received the same wages...even those who were hired at the last hour. But when the subject of hell was brought up, this man said he would discuss this with us another time. Please help me to understand these scriptures he related to us. Thanks, Bereaniam |

108 | Should fornicators be leaders in church | Eph 5:3 | Bereaniam | 177848 | ||
A young lady who can sing like a lark, was our lead praise singer. She was already a husbandless single mother. She became pregnant again, but the pastors/elders allowed her to continue leading the praise service. The pastor's wife has a cousin who was divorced after having an affair with a man. He has remarried another woman, and he is now the lead praise singer. How should a Church, particularly the elders and/or the pastor handle this? Should 1 Cor5:1-7 be applied? His, Bereaniam |

110 | Church staff's salary questionable | 1 Tim 3:7 | Bereaniam | 169789 | ||
I attend a congregation where it appears to be "family-owned", i.e.,it was started by the current pastor, his wife, the pastor's mom, dad, sisters, brother-in-law, his wife's mom, dad, sisters, etc. The congregation has grown to about 1500 (1 church, 3 locations). We had a split when the associate pastor was "pushed out" to make room for their son and son-in-law to be associate pastors. All of the above named people are paid staff including their 2 daughters, their son's father and mother-in-laws, and cousin, and the cousin's wife. Anyone who has exhibited the slightest bit of "doubt" about our pastor becomes "ostracized". Do you believe the congregation has a right to know "who is paid staff and how much each person earns"? They all live very well...pastors buy new expensive cars, trucks every two years, they have a beautiful home, horses, cattle, etc. now...but just announced they are about to buy another home. They do preach the "prosperity message, name-it-claim-it". Would you ask for monetary accountability? Would you leave this kind of congregation..or just pray for them and leave it in God's hands? Thanks for your input. Bereaniam |

Thanks Justme for this info...I did not know you could obtain a church's financial records. Do you know if you have to be a member in order to do that? This is a "nondenominational church". In Him and He in me, Bereaniam |

Greetings Justme, I know it has been a while, but I did check with the IRS and I was told that churches do not have to disclose their budget or financial records. Thanks anyway, Bereaniam |

118 | Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Bereaniam | 169525 | ||
Since Paul, the apostle said: "my gospel" will judge the secrets of men hearts; follow me as I follow Christ; the things that you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me do, you DO; Paul said I am your pattern to follow, and since the gospel was given to Paul to us Gentiles straight from Jesus (Paul said no man taught him "my gospel"), doesn't those scriptures tell us (Gentiles) that the scriptures Paul wrote (Romans - Hebrews) should govern and guide us in our Christian walk? Paul reiterates many old covenant principles and all of the ten commandments in his epistles except for the 4th(Sabbath). Though Paul said to follow him as he follows Christ, I do not believe Paul means Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth was born under the law Gal 4. I believe Paul means the resurrected Christ who said he had a more excellent ministry. Bereaniam |

119 | Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Bereaniam | 169575 | ||
Hi lionheart, Please read my reply to Mark, its title is (Hi Mark, I'm soooo sorry), then answer me again, please. I CERTAINLY did not mean to communicate that I thought there are two Jesuses. You told me Eph.4 makes it clear what Paul and the other apostles were preaching. However, are you aware that Paul had to withstand Peter to his face, Gal 2:11, because Peter and the disciples were still operating in the old dispensation of law, Judaizing? Paul and Peter separated, Peter went to the Jews while Paul to the Gentiles, Gal 2:7. Even Peter said he found Paul hard to understand 2Pet 3:15,16. In Him and He in me |

120 | Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Bereaniam | 169584 | ||
Hi Mark, You still have not addressed my MAIN concern, which is: IS PAUL OUR PATTERN TO FOLLOW? SHOULD WE CONDUCT OUR CHRISTIAN WALK ACCORDING TO PAUL'S EPISTLES ROMAN - HEBREWS? WHEN PAUL WAS THE APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES, WERE HIS EPISTLES ENOUGH FOR THEM TO WALK OUT THEIR CHRISTIAN LIFE WITHOUT EVER KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE OLD COVENANT OR WHAT WAS IN MATT, MRK, LUKE, JHN, JAMES, PETER, REVELATION? ARE YOU JEW OR GENTILE? In Him and He in me |
